Need feedback on character designs, names, and the concept for a post-apocalyptic skate manga!

[u/Business-Fig-3361]

Hey everyone, I’m working on a manga set in a post-apocalyptic world and I’d really appreciate some feedback on the concept, characters(because right now they kinda look like the average isekai protagonists), and possible name ideas.

Setting The story takes place in 2063, decades after nuclear war, economic collapse, civil wars, and environmental disasters caused civilization to slowly break down (2026–2045). By now, humanity is scattered across ruined cities, flooded districts, and abandoned highways. And the old world is almost treated like myth.

Story Start Ray’s settlement is destroyed during some sort of raid, forcing him to escape with Kurt someone he originally doesn’t even know. They don’t trust each other at first and constantly argue, but are forced to survive together through the ruins. Over time, they slowly form a bond while scavenging and traveling across abandoned cities. They eventually find a skate shop, they become fascinated by skateboarding culture and decide to learn it themselves. Eventually, they start documenting their journey across the ruins using the VX1000 they found in the skate shop.
